Really slow and meticuluous work Tom but on a set like that one all the care is well deserved.

Just wondering if a bead of sliver solder in paste around the reconstructed seam on the aluminum cans would give a cleaner look to the joint and if it might be stronger as well. Of course that presupposes that aluminum can be sliver soldered. I have used silver solder in paste that comes in a syringe for easy application but I don't think I've ever tried it on aluminum. If the can isn't pure aluminum but an aloy it just might stick. Silver solder has a very low melting temperature as compared to other solders. Not sure if a good high temperature heat gun would provide enough heat to melt it but a wave of a flame from a mini torch would certainly do it. If one were to position the cut in the can where the entire joint was horizontal as opposed to vertical the chances for success would be better too I would think.

Keep up the good work.
